Ultisnips: unicode is not defined error in python3

[bartlibert]

Since commit 69574e77607d4dcecf0d705449b31540c41c0221, the plugin does not work anymore in vim with python3. When typing, the following error is shown (paths truncated for privacy).

`An error occured. This is either a bug in UltiSnips or a bug in a
snippet definition. If you think this is a bug, please report it to
https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips/issues/new.

Following is the full stack trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/UltiSnips/err_to_scratch_buffer.py", line 16, in wrapper
return func(self, args, *kwds)
File "UltiSnips/snippet_manager.py", line 839, in _track_change
if not isinstance(inserted_char, unicode):
NameError: name 'unicode' is not defined `

I guess it is related to this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19877306/nameerror-global-name-unicode-is-not-defined-in-python-3#19877309

@bartlibert, @ahmedelgabri: sorry about that. Can you try latest master?

Neovim, latest master, the same error.

I have both py and py3 configured, and I suppose plugin uses py2 by default, so your fix with if sys.version_info doesn't fix this.

UPD it works now, thanks.

@bordeltabernacle: did you tried 7f7058d?

[robphoenix]

I use vim-plug, this error wasn't fixed with :PlugUpdate but was with git fetch origin master && git merge origin master within .vim/plugged/ultisnips

[robphoenix]

yep, that's the latest commit I'm on now @seletskiy

[seletskiy]

@bordeltabernacle: So there is no issue now?

[robphoenix]

@seletskiy nope, thanks! Not sure why vim-plug didn't update to the latest master.

[ahmedelgabri]

Fixed for me too. Thanks @seletskiy

[seletskiy]

Good. Sorry for trouble.
